The hotel was in walking distance to the royal mile, the tram, and the train. You can take the tram to and from the airport and a stop is outside the hotel. Free breakfast, but it was the same thing everyday.

Clean comfortable hotel, well placed for local attractions. The check-in staff are very pleasant and helpful. They do not serve meals, apart from breakfast, but there are numerous restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The only downside is the lack of parking spaces and the nearby multi-storey car park is VERY expensive.

The location is fantastic! Tram right out the front, walkable to all main areas including city centre, Royal Mile, St. James quarter, St. Andrew’s square, etc. room was a good size, carpet needs replacing but beds comfy and breakfast good. Got checked in early which was also wonderful when so tired from overnight flights! Many staff were top notch. Cleaning crew often very late on day, and did not seem to redo beds just make them. But all in all a great stay and I would go back. Fridges in room would be a wonderful perk.
